Daily Feline Prompt: Automatic Feline

Being a feline, I have a tail
It follows me over hill and dale
Sometimes it curls, sometimes it is straight
It is always there, my faithful mate
I cannot control it, it does what it will
Although it depends on the way that I feel
If I am happy it is upright and tall
If I am miserable it is hard to install
The secret of the mood swings is a delicate trick
It lays in the secrets of quantum mathematic

I too have a tail
and it’s very expressive
When it’s time for a walk
It’s motion’s impressive
It flies back and forth
With a jubilant wag
Against the wall
And my human’s leg.
But now it is curled
In front of my face
It’s far too cold
For a walk or a race.
I wish it were summer
We could go to the slough
Without any problem
But a horsefly or two.

I love this poem. I can usually tell my cat’s mood by her tail, especially if it’s thumping hard. I also notice that if I pet her just her head, then only the tip of her tail moves. If I am petting her whole back the whole tail wags up and down, which eventually leads to her trying to bite me. Therefore, if she is on my lap or near me, I tend to just pet her head. Otherwise, it is too much stimulation and I would experience the death grip with her teeth.

This was a fun comment. My Teemu is a tail thumper…..and how! The vet laughs at the death swish that is Teemu’s tail. I am going to have to pay attention to Parker’s tail when I pet her. I cannot wait to sit down to read tonight and have Parker jump into my lap! I will pay more attention to her tail than to my book. 😀

I had three cats, now onlyTabby, but they all used their tails in different ways. Nera was a side to side tail use, Fluffy would curl it around himself when sleep. He had a rasta hair do, because he was a Selkirk Rex, but a bushy tail like a squirrel, and Tabby has a straight tail which she usually carries in the vertical position.

Three Cool Cats, Nera, Tabby and Fluffy

This blog belongs to Tabby the cat that owns me. There two other cats Nera and Fluffy but they left for the eternal corn chambers, never to be forgotten and sometimes they still pay a visit on this page. They see life from a feline perspective. They sleep 23 hours a day and spend an hour looking for somewhere to sleep. Their hobbies are eating, sleeping, hunting and birdwatching.
